ABSTRACT: Software Project Management is a knowledge intensive process that
can benefit substantially from ontology development and ontology engineering.
Ontology development could facilitate or improve substantially the software
development process through the improvement of knowledge management, the
increase of software and artefacts reusability, and the establishment of
internal consistency within project management processes of various phases of software
life cycle. A large number of ontologies have been developed attempting to
address various software engineering aspects, such as requirements engineering,
components reuse, domain modelling, etc. In this paper, we present a systematic
literature review focusing on software project management ontologies. The
literature review, among other, has identified lack of standardization in
terminology and concepts, lack of systematic domain modelling and use of
ontologies mainly in prototype ontology systems that address rather limited
aspects of software project management processes.
